¿How do students learn?
In my own personal opinion the last question establish is the most difficult question that I think ,In my life as a student I wouldn’teven think what is learn.
Learning is acquiring new or modifying existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and some machines. Progress over time tends to follow learning curves.
Human learning may occur as part of education, personal development, or training. It may be goal-oriented and may be aided by motivation. The study of how learning occurs is part of neuropsychology, educational psychology, learning theory, and pedagogy.
Learning may occur as a result of habituation or classical conditioning, seen in many animal species, or as a result of more complex activities such as play, seen only in relatively intelligent animals. Learning may occur consciously or without conscious awareness. There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally, in which habituation has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation, indicating that the central nervous system is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development.
So le lets take a look. What is learn ?R=Learn is the process intervening which the person acquires dexterity or skills (motor and intellectual).Every human been since he s born till he dies always use learning ,we born with out knowing how to survive in this world ;but the world is full of experiences ( the life is to learn ) that are transformed to experiences .
Besides the experiences are not all to learn ,that’s why people created schools, school were we have an education formal ,we learn how to read, to write, problems of math .
In this school there will be mixed Ateacher, and a student and there will be establish a relation between study and student.
To start we have to have a good look to the brain of our student ¿what do they have in their brain? ,the researches that I had make in this school helps me a lot to support what I’m going to say the Teenagers learn in different ways Some experts say there are as many as seven different learning styles; but it's easier to narrow it down to three types of learning
“Listening learners.- In this case the ones who poses this learning will be able to relation, understand, the issue or the activity. These ones will hear the instructions, after making the activity our responding, and always be attending what they are telling others.”(1)
Few time ago I heard this words, the community where the child learns will be obligate to learn the particularities of the learn.
“Seeing learners. - The mentioned watch the situation about the making and try to figure it out. They look everydetail, analyzed, project the situation and make the topic, activity etc.” (2)
“Experience learners.-In this the students just had a background about what is coming next ,all they have to do is remember, this ones had learn based on use of all the sense a while ago about a situation they where involve.”(3)
But this last researches are not all the explain of how does students learn, let’s See what is the other hand each view leads to a different emphasis and consequent neglect of other features of learning.
Students learn, with varying degrees of success, through reading, memorizing, thinking, writing, note-taking in lectures, observing, that’s what I saw in my secondary school were I have been this is in many ways for me the easy way to respond ,besides the last explication .Each view leads to a different emphasis and consequent neglect of other features of learning. Like some theories that we will mention briefly.
“Behaviorism.-behaviorism concerned itself exclusively with the objective evidence of behavior (measured responses to stimuli) and excluded ideas, emotions, and inner mental experience in this case I have watched this theory in the secondary where I had chance to observe in the class of English A inner mental of experience leads the student to of imitation, practice an they will have a habit formation of study. And the then the teacher acts like a guide.”(4)

Constructivism.-Learners build schema that enable them to construct meaning and understanding. In this definition the teacher will build a link between teaching and learning, the students develop by this way new concepts and apply in a start of autonomy learning.
In another point of view I can say that one of the type of way that a student learn is memorizingis about getting learning’s into your head like when we study for an exam teenagers just have to record to answer questions.
Besides memorizing, Learning is making sense.-Is when the student understand the things around him, and not only try to remember, you have to be able to explain things.
“(In one study, 89.3 percent of questions asked by the faculty required only recall to answer, not comprehension of concepts). ...” (5)
Another fact shows that Learning is understanding reality. - With the background of things you perceive the world differently; when a student see things that they just haven’t seen everything changes.
Facts show that a student only learns Learning Understanding Memorize and Understanding but why can a student finish with a level a strong Knowledge ,it might be that a teacher is only bottle were you can just fill with learning’s, he is a Fire that must be switched.
At the end the researches that I Had made for this essay shows that student learns based on facts like through reading, memorizing, thinking, and writing.
I would like to conclude by saying that we must act quickly so I can write down in this easy a answer that ,will say a student learns step by step ,like a baby accompanied by a adult (Teacher) in this will forma critical thinking based on his own thinking.
